曲：你那麼愛他 – 李聖傑 & 林隆璇
was looking through my old sketch book and i found a story i wrote in chinese. it was a brothers grimm story- and the basis of three greast dramas - hoshi no kinka I, II and III.
There was once upon a time a good and pious little girl whose father and mother were dead, and she was so poor that she no longer had a room to live in, or bed to sleep in, and at last she had nothing else but the clothes she was wearing and a little bit of bread in her hand which some charitable soul had given her.
And as she was thus forsaken by all the world, she went forth into the open country, trusting in the good God. Then a poor man met her, who said, ah, give me something to eat, I am so hungry. She handed him the whole of her piece of bread, and said, may God bless you, and went onwards.
Then came a child who moaned and said, my head is so cold, give me something to cover it with. So she took off her hood and gave it to him. And when she had walked a little farther, she met another child who had no jacket and was frozen with cold. Then she gave it her own, and a little farther on one begged for a frock, and she gave away that also.
At length she got into a forest and it had already become dark, and there came yet another child, and asked for a shirt, and the good little girl thought to herself, it is a dark night and no one sees you, you can very well give your shirt away, and took it off, and gave away that also.
And as she so stood, and had not one single thing left, suddenly some stars from heaven fell down, and they were nothing else but hard smooth pieces of money, and although she had just given her shirt away, she had a new one which was of the very finest linen. Then she put the money into it, and was rich all the days of her life. i dont know why i like it. in the japanese drama, they romanticised it and called the money tt fell from the sky 「星の金貨」- hoshi no kinka, or coins from the stars.
僕は君の星の金貨。
on another note: as we near the end of our last classical semester, i just sort of realised on the bus today that our last lecture, is really our last lecture. In april, TEP kicks in, and we will all be in school but not together in class.
remember the first time we wore formal business attire?
or the first major group presentation?
the first day we touched the camera,
or the first day we had to report on time for filming?
i remember how excited we got when we heard ICA presentation was to be in business attire, and how we were busy going out buying G2000 etc. stuff. i remember how tense we were before presenting [cereality], and the night before, in the library writing out our script for presentation. i remember when we first had the chance to touch the camera in ms shelley cole's lesson, and puzzled over what was white balance and tape preset and everything. and i remember how worried we were that our group members wont come in on time because mr azhar threatened to not allow us to sign out the camera if we were late.
the memories are what sustain us. smile.
velda.
